Yes. It is easy to do. You use the same property reference syntax for
nested bean properties in your validation.xml file that you would use
to populate form fields automatically for your nested bean properties
using the Struts html taglib. For example, here is partial
validation.xml form element definition that specifies that the "city"
property of the nested "shippinginfo" bean is a required property:
<form name="checkoutForm">
<field property="shippinginfo.city" depends="required">
<arg0 key="shippinginfo.label.city"/>
</field>
...
</form>
